He truly was a great heel, there's no denying that, i truly loved to hate the fucker, so he was doing his job perfectly.Triple H from the Cactus feud in 2000 to his quad injury in 2001 is GOAT level. His delivery of his promos ("I AM THE GAME, BECAUSE I CRIPPLED STEVE AUSTIN!!" etc.) to how he maintained his body and his quality of matches totally surpassed HBK and he was the perfect foil for Rock and Austin to work with, which is a lofty position.
So many heels lack what he had, and he was one of the best: he had a psychopathic lust for the belt and would do anything for it, real life or in character.
And, come on, he had the best entrance themes. My Time, The Game, Line In The Sand, King of Kings... aesthetically he's based. He just really sucked in 2002 and 2003 and anybody else would've lost their spot, but he tied the knot with Stephanie in 2003.
The reign of terror i could have done without, seeing him so much really soured me on him.
The DX stuff in the 2000's really wasn't my cup of tea, it truly felt like two middle aged men pretending to be teenage boys, embarrassing.
His entrances and music where badass, his return after his injury is awesome, listen to that response.
